No Education, Jails, “Re-Education”, Serge Monast, and Project Blue Beam: How far down the rabbit hole can we go?

Let’s go to the mailbox and pull out today’s Hamilton Spectator. Hmm, what do we have here on page one? The headlines read that enrollment will be down in universities and colleges because the baby-boomers kids are coming through the ranks now, and well, we simply don’t have the same numbers of kids coming into the system. Okay, fine, couldn’t also have anything to do with the discouraged youth that see the debt associated with education an albatross around their necks when they can’t find jobs to pay off the debt, now could it?

Have you spoken to the average university kid these days?

I have never heard such negativity to the future prospects and maybe, rightly so. Where is our manufacturing? Where are the jobs? What is their future?

And, as repeatedly brought up here and elsewhere, what is the purpose of more jails in Canada when crime rates are down? Perhaps the formal college education is to be replaced with a certain “re-education” and our jails may also be known as places of altered states of different learning. After all, you can’t expect Dalton McGuinty’s four-fingered video to make all the difference for ensuring the state looks after your “four year old”, not three year old, and ensure the brainwashing of the youth takes off can you?

“Nobody raises your kids better while inflation erodes your finances than the nanny state!”

Hold up the four fingers Mr. McGuinty, make sure we all get the point. Wait, we are talking about three year olds in this video – - now I’m confused. Sell us on vision sir, sell us on vision.

Well, it is interesting to tie in the recently leaked (that admittedly should not have been) military US manual that mentions “re-education camps” to re-educate the people of the United States that must have it all wrong. Yes, a re-education is needed to teach them the way the world should be looked upon.

And way back when, we had some ex -Nasa kooks tell us we would be visited by aliens. We had Larry King speak to Nasa officials about little space ships intercepting missile fire, and let’s not forget about the Friday where all eyes in NYC were to the skies because the little green men were making their presence known, but don’t worry, they weren’t sent to “land” just yet. They were here though, according to the word from the “transendors” to warn us all of the ravages of global warming and protect us from our own stupidity if we don’t reverse the process.

Making this up? I wish!

Ahh yes, Project Blue Beam, for which Serge Monast, a Canadian caught wind of, and may have lost his life over. Got HAARP? Yes, part of the long and deep rabbit hole, that once you start going down, you will find the light at the top a mere pinhead in a long tube. Crazy stuff, but makes you wonder what real life events, places, and news articles are doing, and how they all tie together.

The following, from 1994, may blow your mind. Here is Serge Monast. Strap yourself in when you realize how much is actually happened/happening:

1994 Serge Monast Transcript Explaining NASA’s Project Blue Beam (April 15, 2010)

http://www.sweetliberty.org/issues/hoax/bluebeam.htm

[Introductory Notes]

Following is the transcript of a taped presentation by Serge Monast, a French-speaking Canadian journalist. Although there was no date on the tape, Monast speaks of 1983 as “eleven years ago”, so we will assume this talk took place in 1994. We heard rumors from time to time of harassment against Mr. Monast, and later had heard that he was killed. That is an unconfirmed (by us) report.

Because the tape from which we transcribed was not of high quality, and along with the very heavy French accent, we were unable to make out some of the words. We had to guess at the spelling of some of the names.  If — as you read — you find words incorrectly spelled or can fill in any of the gaps, please contact me.

I’ve decided to transcribe this tape because the information relates to events occurring today. The projected time-line was off target, because Mr. Monast expected the plan to be fulfilled by the year 2,000… as did many.  

He also indicated during the presentation that the planners had originally set the date for 1983. That could explain the title of George Orwell’s book, 1984.

The date 1984 (’85)  also jives with information presented to a special Legislative Committee in Illinois in 1978 studying the effects of Regionalism on the State, by a gentleman who testified that:

he was a former secret courier for the National Security Agency;

the ‘official position of the U.S. Government is to change this form of government to Socialism… via Regionalism’; and that;

“the logic behind this is that when the new order takes place, which is scheduled around the 1985 period, that the representation for the committee that will sit on the world council will be very equal to the population of the European countries.”

(speaking of intended  numbers of populations in each region being limited to about 20 million each so no ‘region’ could ever effectively gain independence from the World Government).

Off the subject, yet not.. Regionalism is being sewed up nice and tightly right in our own back yards. . . local levels of government. Will you just ‘let it happen’? 

You will also want to read Betty Mill’s Vision and Circles of Power, from 1991. Betty knew of Project Blue Beam, although when she made the tape she did not know or know of Serge Monast. Betty went Home last January, where she is at peace from the awful ability – we never decided whether it was a gift or a curse – to see far beyond the illusion of what has been presented to the terrible intentions lurking behind the unfolding events. I dedicate to her with deep, deep love and gratitude – for her love for all of us, and her precious friendship and mentoring to me – this confirmation of her unearthly insight.

NASA’S PROJECT BLUE BEAM

by: Serge Monast – 1994

This is the International Free Press in Canada  (address given, no longer valid – International Free Press Network, P.O. Box 177, Magog, Quebec, Canada J1X3W8). The International Free Press Network is not a religious group, neither a political organization, but and independent worldwide investigation press agency, in the field of politics, economic, medical and military.  

We specialize ourselves in investigating and publishing special reports and audio tapes to expose the under world of the United Nations’ conspiracy to implement a New World Order.  

Our task is to make the people realize that the coming of the New World Order is not a dream, neither a paranoid thought.  It is a real Satanic under going project.

For what?  

To abolish all Christian traditional religions in order to replace them by a one-world religion based on the ‘cult of man’.  

To abolish all national identity and national pride in order to establish a world identity and world pride.

To abolish the family as known today in order to replace it by individuals all working for the glory of one-world government

To destroy all individual artistic and scientific creating works to implement a world government’s one mind sight

And that kind of declaration of war from the United Nations is for:

  • the implementation of a universal and obligatory membership to the United Nations, as transcending of the United Nations by multi-military and multi-police force;
  • a world wide Justice Department through the United Nations with an International Criminal Court;
  • a world wide new Trade Agreement for all nations;
  • the end of cold war — of local war like it is today, and the obligation for co-existence for “peace”;
  • and also, a New World Religion and a New World Culture for all men.

If we really wish to understand the Blue Beam Project — NASA’s Blue Beam Project — where is that from?. . . we have to go back to the dawning of the Age of Aquarius.  Remember that song? That song said:

When the moon is in the seventh house, and Jupiter aligns with mars, and peace will guide our planet, and love will steer the stars.

This related with the year 1982, to be at that time the opening of the conspiracy for the Age of Aquarius.  Just before the implementation of the New World Order, supposed to start at that time in 1983… and I have to say that the Blue Beam Project was set up for the year 1983.  

It has been delayed at that time. We don’t know exactly why, but since 1983, makes eleven years they’ve really improved themselves with new technology and through space, that enable them right now to make their space show possible.  

    So, the goals of the New Age movement under which the United Nations operates right now, are the implementation of a New World Messiah.  

    The tools of the new world government are a multi-national army — an international army; an international police force; a World Bank for the economy; a World Government under the United Nations; a World Conservation Bank for wilderness around the world.  That means that all green movements will be melded into this new International Bank or will disappear.  A World Religion where all church doctrines will be destroyed at the roots to be replaced by the new religion of the Age of Aquarius.

    The world seven rate classifications for all men and women – the new paradise, they said – where everybody will have a predetermined work to fill out whether they agree or not; the world concentration camp headquarters at the United Nations for those who will not accept the new system; the world agriculture and food-supply control which will control food and vitamin supplies all around the world.

    The New World Order will be an in-between government system from old USSR, Great Britain and its commonwealths, and the actual United States with its melting-pot population.  This is at the end… a new spiritual-political world order which will replace the old one in which we live right now.

    What are the New World Order plans?  They plan the destruction of all people who believe in the Bible, who worship Jesus Christ, and the complete disappearance of Christianity to achieve this plan.  

     The New World Order will change nations’ laws in order that Christian religious beliefs and symbols – like the cross for instance – will be come unlawful.  Only Easter and Christmas for instance will be replaced by New Age festivities around the world.

     The New World Order plans also the abolishment of all currencies and the transfer to electronic cash through the super highway — what we call also, the electronic highway. The thinker and the basic doctrine books of the New Age conspiracy for the New World Government are — and listen to the name of those people because all the new way of thinking of the New World Order are from those people, those authors who wrote different kinds of books which are the basic belief of the New Age movement:

    Helena Petrovna Blavatsky, who wrote Isis Unveiled and The Secret Doctrine.  

    Alice A. Baily who wrote The Race and the Initiation and the Externalization of the Hierarchy.  Also, Initiation, Human and Solar;  The Reappearance of the Christ – their Christ is the new messiah; The Destiny of the Nations, in which they plan what they’re going to do with the actual nation-state.  

     The Unfinished Autobiography , Discipleship in the New Age, Esoteric Psychology — that’s a writing of Alice Baily, very important for all New Age thinkers who are exactly the ones who plan the New World Order.  

    Also the writing of Nicholas Roerich wrote Mitreya, that’s their new messiah; Shambala the Resplendent; The Agni? Yoga Series.

    Also the writing of David Spangler who wrote Revelation, the Birth of a New Age, considered as a valuable insight to the New Age movement.  Reflections on the Christ which is related to the Luciferian initiation; Links With Space, which relayed as supposed to be big space show in which aliens are supposed to come to save men.  Relationship and Identity; The Laws of Manifestation;  New Age ?, and Toward a Planetary Vision which is directly related with the New World Order as they plan it to be.  

    Now, what do those people also plan?… and as I said before, this is not a dream and this is not paranoid thinking.  This is real.  So they plan … to accept the New World Order, people will have to accept first the New World Religion.  To enter into the New World Religion, the Christians will have to abdicate their own beliefs.  

    So as they said, especially Benjamin Creme, David Spangler, Alice Baily, Helena Petrovna Blavatsky… all said that the initiation will be on a world basis, inside the new organized Christian church and is a Masonic Lodge, and Order organization.  It will be based on a Luciferian initiation, so what we have to understand here is: it won’t be possible for somebody who will hold tight to his own Christian beliefs to get into the New World Order.  That will be impossible.  

     Now for those who will not accept the NWO, who will reject it, the new age people — the new ager, the new world order people, which is the same — they plan concentration camps – re-education camps – and for those camps they made what is known to be the rainbow color classification of the new world order prisoner. The rainbow considered as the bridge symbol leading to the Satanic world of the New World Order.  

     We already do know for instance, that everybody will have to take an oath to Lucifer with a ritual initiation in order to cross that bridge into the new World Order. All resisters to that initiation, as they plan, will definitely be sent to a detention facility where they will be separated in different categories.  That’s what they call the rainbow color classification of the New World Order prisoner.

    Classification of Christian children, as they plan it, are to be used as human sacrifice. Where? Within the black mass ceremonies, they will participate in any kind of sexual orgy, some to be kept as sexual slaves.  

    Classification 2, which is the classification of prisoners to be used in medical experiments where drugs and new technologies will be tested on humans.  

    The 3rd classification is the classification of healthy prisoners for the international human organ center, where their vital organs will be removed one by one while they will be be maintained in life with special life-support systems.

    Classification 4, for all healthy underground workers. The new world order is a basic worldwide dictatorship based on the Luciferian religion.  A dictatorship with the appearance of an international democracy. In order to maintain that democracy illusion, camps and slave labor will be hidden from the populations of the earth.  Just remember, for instance, how Hitler covered up the maternity in the concentration camp in his time.  

     Classification 5, which is the classification of uncertain prisoners in the international re-educational center, where they will be re-educated in order to repent themselves on worldwide t.v. and where they will learn how to glorify the virtues of the new world order for humanity.  

    Classification 6, which is the international execution center.  We’re still waiting for details on the 7th rate classification as well as we’re still waiting for proof on the color classification for each prisoner section.  

    Now, those people… this is what they plan in their new paradise world.  So you have to understand that when I decided to release – about six months ago – some tiny parts of information concerning their most secret project, which is the NASA Blue Beam project, I was not sure at that time if I would survive my stand against the new world order’s most sophisticated project, set up to put down on their knees all men of all nations, cultures and religions.

     But now, following my own Christian conscience, my real and deep love for all my unknown brothers and sisters in America and other parts of the world, I fully accept to give my life it that has to be the case, for the truth, for Jesus Christ, by releasing for the first time ever the four major steps of the satellite Blue Beam Project 

    What I ask to everyone who will read and hear the description following:  It is not to be paralyzed by their natural fear but to spread every word of the contents of this ninety-minute audio tape and to gather together in order to pray, to think and to plan different ways they will organize themselves to survive the New World Order government showdown and power-taking.  Because what we have to understand is the New World Government won’t be something permanent – immortal.  This is not the case.  But what we have to do and what we have to think right now is how to organize ourselves to survive such tyranny, such Satanic plans.

    Now, the famous NASA Blue Beam Project has four different steps.  Four parts toward the implementation of the New World Religion with the anti-Christ at its head.  And we must remember that the New World Religion is the basic foundation for the New World Government.  Without that New World Religion, such government, such worldwide dictatorship is completely impossible. That’s why the project is so not only so important to them, but was so well kept secret to now.  

    The first step concerns the breakdown of all archeological knowledge.  It deals with the set-up of earthquakes at certain precise locations of the planet where supposedly new discoveries will suddenly explain – for them – the wrong meaning of all major religions’ basic doctrines.  This classification used to make the population believe that all religious doctrines have been misunderstood and misinterpreted have already started with the field of psychological preparation for populations for the first step has been prepared through films like 2001 a Space Odessy; the series, Star Trek; Star Wars which deals with space invasion and space protection; and the last film, Jurassic Park, dealing with the theory of evolution.  

    Now, which is important to understand in that first step is that those earthquakes will hit at different parts of the world where scientists and archeological teachings have been taught in the past where supposedly there were some hidden secrets.  By those kinds of earthquakes it will be possible for them to rediscover again – supposedly, okay? – rediscover again those kinds of secrets and those secrets are meant to discredit all the religions’ basic doctrines.  

    This is the first preparation for the plan for humanity, because what they want to do is to throw down, to shake up the beliefs of all Christians on the planet.  And to do that they need some false proof, supposedly from the past, and from the far past that will “prove” to men and women that their religions are false.  

    The second step deals with the gigantic space show with three dimensional optical holograms and sounds, laser projections of multiple holographic images to different parts of the world, each receiving different images according to predominating regional/national religious faith.  This new god’s image will be talking in all languages.  Now to understand that, we have to go back a little bit in different Secret Services research done in the last 25 years.  Like this one:

     The Soviets have manufactured the advanced computer, even imported, and fed them with the minute psychical particular base under studies about the anatomy and the biology of the human body; and the studies about the anatomy, the chemistry and the electricity of the human brain. These computers were fed as well, with the different languages and their meanings. The dialect of people have been fed from the Nature Truth satellite.  The Soviets started to feed the computer with objective programs like the ones New Messiah. It also seems that the Soviets now, the new world order people, ?? to suicidal methods with the human society by allocating an electronic wave on every mind for many persons in different societies.

    Now, there are two different things in that second part.  The space show and where that space show comes from.  The Space Show, the holographic imaging will be used in a simulation of the ending in which you are given scenes which focus on fulfillment of that which is a desire for you to protect? to fit the needs of those adversary ??.  

    The results of this deliberately staged false Christ will be for the implementation of a new universal religion.  Enough tricks will be foisted on us to hook us into the lie. The Project is the ability to take up a whole bunch of people as in a rapture type of situation and to whisk the whole bunch into never-never land.  

     The calculated resistance to the New World Religion, the New World Order and the New Messiah will be ? on a massive scale in the ensuing Holy Wars. The Blue Beam Project will pretend to be the  universal fulfillment of the prophesies of old, as nature and even as that which took place 2,000 years ago.

    In principal, it will make use of the sky as a movie screen, a space based laser generating satellite projects simultaneous images to the four corners of the planet in every language and in every dialect according to region.  It deals with the religion aspect of the new world order and is a large scale seduction.  

    Computers will coordinate the satellite and software will run the show and tell.  Holography is based on very nearly identical signal, combining to produce an image or hologram with deep perception which is equally applicable  ?? to ELF, VLF and LF waves.  It is an optical phenomena.

    Specifically, the show will consist of laser projection of multiple holographic images to different parts of the world, each receiving a different according to predominating regional/national religious faith.  Not a single area will be excluded.

    With computer animation and sound effects appearing to come from the depths of space, astonished followers of the various creeds will witness their own returned messiah in spectacularly convincing life-like realness.  Then the projection of the Christ, of Mohammed, Buddah, Krishna, etc. will merge into one after ?? explanation of the mysteries, prophecies, and revelation will have been disclosed.

    This one god will in fact be the anti-Christ who will explain the various scriptures have been misunderstood, that the religions of all are responsible for turning brother against brother, nation against nation; therefore the world’s religions must be abolished to make way for the Golden Age, New Age of the One World Religion, representing the one god anti-Christ in this instance they see before them.

{At this point — interrupting the transcript — I’m compelled to include three statements from the Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion. j.p.}

“When the hour strikes for our Sovereign Lord of all the World to be crowned it is these same hands [the mob] which will sweep away everything that might be a hindrance thereto.”  Protocol No. 3.

“Ever since that time [French Revolution] we have been leading the peoples from one disenchantment to another, so that in the end they should turn also from us in favour of that King Despot of the blood of Zion, whom we are preparing for the world.” Protocol No. 3.

“However, it is probably all the same to the world who is its sovereign lord, whether the head of Catholicism or our despot of the blood of Zion.” Protocol No.4.  

    Naturally this superbly staged ?? falsification will result in social religious disorder on a grand scale, including millions of programmed religious fanatics, through demonic possession cases on a scale never seen before.  In addition, this event will occur at a time of great political anarchy and general tumult at the edge of something big… the United Nations, even though it plans to use the Beethoven song of joy as the official Anthem for the New World Order.

    Now, if we put this space show and parallel with the star war program we get this: Combinations of electro-magnetic radiation and hypnosis have also been the subject of intensive research.  In 1974, for instance, researcher  G. F. Shapis? said of one of these research proposals and this investigation:

“It will be shown that the spoken word of the hypnotist may also become varied by modulated electro-magnetic energy directly into the ?? spot of the human brain, without employing any technical device for receiving or transporting the message and without the person exposed to such influence having a chance to control the information input consciously.

It may be expected that they rationalize their behavior and consider it to be under taken out of their own free will.”

    Anybody investigating so-called channeling phenomena right now would be wise to take this area of research into consideration. It is interesting to note the fact that the number of people who consider themselves channelers have escalated rapidly since this type of research was conducted.

    It is uncanny how similar their messages are regardless of which entity they claim to be the source of their divine guidance.  It would suggest that any individual considering the content of channeled information should be discerning and critically evaluate where the message they are receiving or considering it empowering or would serve to invoke thought patterns beneficial to the New World Order.  

    The Sidney Morning Arrow? published an item on March 21st, 1983 which asked ?? ?? ?? .  The article states that a paper entitled “The Soviets are Invading the Human Mind” has been submitted to the newspaper foreign editor by Dr. Nathan Ab ??, Assistant Professor in the  ?? ?? ?? in Egypt.  It is worth quoting the article at length even though his grammar is a little old.

   This article relates with the subject who manufactured the advanced computer we were talking about a few minutes ago, and which is really important, because these kinds of computers can be around through satellite into space.  The computers were fed, as we said as well, with the different languages and their meanings; the dialect of the people has been fed from the Nature Truth satellite.  

    The Soviets started to feed the computer with objective program.   Today, we’re not talking about the Soviets, we’re talking about the United Nations, the new world order’s people.  They’re the ones  who feed the computer right now with objective programs.  

    Also, the editor of the column in which the article was printed even states, “We think it makes sense too important to ignore.”  I think that it is considerate way of putting it.  One disturbing possibility, given all the information we have at hand, is that the individuals involved in this potential   ? mind control operation could then sell the program and not even be aware that they are conducting such an operation.

    Now, figure it out how far they can go right now.  

    Now, these techniques push us toward the third step of the NASA Blue Beam project that goes along with the telepathic electronical two-ways communication where ELF, VLF and LF waves will reach the people of the earth by the inside of their brain making each one to believe that his own ‘god’ is talking to each one from within his own soul.  

    Such waves from satellite are fed from the memory of computers which store a lot of data about the human being and the languages.  These waves will then interlace and interweave with the natural thinking to form what we call ?? artificial talk.  Now that kind of technology goes into the 1970′s, 1980′s and 1990′s research where the human brain has been compared to a computer; information is fed in, processed, integrated and our response is then formulated and acted upon.  

    Mind controllers manipulate information in the same manner as a computer for grammar manipulates information.  

    In January, 1991, the University of Arizona hosted a conference titled “The NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Current and Emergent Phenomena in Bio-Molecular Systems”.  

    What does that mean exactly? That means this: If we refer to one paper that was delivered at the conference, stood out for its different attitude toward the development under discussion at that time.  It was in effect a protest and a chilling warning to the attending scientists about the potential abuse of their research findings.  

    Now, what does that paper mean, and state?  It states that the United States has ?? communication equipment which can make the blind see, the deaf hear and the lame walk.  It can relieve the terminally ill of all pain without the use of any drugs – and I’m not talking about science fiction over here – a man might retain the use of all his faculties up until the day of his death.  

    This communication equipment depends on the new way of looking at the human brain and neuro-muscular system and ?? radiation pulse at ultra low frequency. Some of this equipment is now operational within the Central Intelligence Agency – the CIA – and the Federal Bureau of Investigations.  It will never be used to make the blind see and the deaf hear and the lame walk, because it is central to the domestic political agenda and foreign policy of the late president Bush.  

    Domestically the new communications equipment is being used to torture and murder persons who match profiles imagined; to be able to screen a given population for terrorists; to torture and murder citizens who belong to organizations which promote peace and development in Central America; to torture and murder citizens who belong to organizations opposed to deployment and use of nuclear weapons; and to create a race of slaves called automatons, or what it is popularly called, the Manchurian Candidate.  

    Over seas experimentation is taking place on ?? by the United States and Canada, Great Britain, Australia, Germany, Finland and France.  In addition there has been a long series of ?? among British computer scientists of all who have some connection to the United States Navy.   

What is possible to ask here in front of such a psychology of terror as this? Would any government, corporation or psychiatrist willfully promote such horror today? The answer is quite obviously, “yes”.  Government agencies and the corporations that work with them toward New World Order are prepared to promote anything that will help them to achieve their objective of total social control.  

As for the question of ‘why?’: for one thing, if you terrify the public and make them fear for their safety they will allow you to implement draconian law enforcement practices, disarm them and keep extensive records on them and they only have to tell you, “Well, that’s all in order to protect you, of course”.  

And secondly, it promotes the decay  of the current form of democratic political system and leads societies to search for alternatives to current political methodology.

Of course, the alternative has already been planned.  It is called New World Order and it won’t have your safety or interest at heart. As George Bush. said, “read my lips.”

    Fear has always been used by powerful elite to control and subjugate the masses.  The old maxim “divide and conquer is being played out to the limit in every corner of the planet to ensure that everybody is frightened for their personal safety and scared or suspicious of those around them.  This too, it is called mind control.

    Now, to go a little bit further in that new technology which is at the basis of the NASA Blue Beam project, we have to consider this quote from psychologist Gene V McConnell, which was published in a1970 issue of “Psychology Today”.  He said,

“The day has come when we can combine sensory deprivation with drugs, hypnosis and astute manipulation of reward and punishment to gain almost absolute control over an individual’s behavior.  

It should be then possible to achieve a very rapid and highly effective type of positive brainwashing that would allow us to make dramatic change in a person’s behavior and personality.”  

    Now when we talked before about that kind of rays and the telepathic electronic two-ways communication… the kinds of rays which are fed from the memory of computers which store a lot of data about the human being and the languages; and we said that the people of the earth will be reached by the inside of their brain making  each one to believe that his own ‘god’ is talking to each one within his own soul, we refer to that kind of technology and that kind of thinking.

    That same psychologist said,

“We should reshape society so that we all would be trained from birth to want to do what societies want us to do.  We have the techniques to do it.  No one owns his own personality.”  

    And this quote here is real important because it is also basic teaching from the United Nations, that ‘no one owns his own personality’.  The same psychologist adds:

“You have no say about what kind of personality you acquire, and there’s no reason to believe you  should have the right to refuse to acquire a new personality if your old one is anti-social.”  

    Which is important in that kind of declaration here, if the NWO will be set up over the old one, that means that the old way of thinking, the way we think right now – our behavior, our religious beliefs – would be considered by those people as old thinking, an old way of living, and they will have — to change it — the re-education camps of the United Nations, to make sure that people will have  – for them an anti-social behavior which is today an actual one — will be re-educated in a way to have the new behavior to fulfill the needs of the NWO.

     Might it be the largest mind control project ever? because NASA Blue Beam Project is also for the implementation of a New World Religion, a mind control project.  So I would suggest you examine the evidence carefully before you disregard this possibility.  

   Now, if we go further in the different reports we have over here, we find this: The mind control operation and technology include a transmitter which broadcasts at the frequency of the human nervous system, which system is manufactured by the Laurel Electro-Optical System in Pasadena, California.  

    Laurel, a major defense contractor had previously conducted research on directed-energy weapons for Lieutenant-General Leonard Perez of the U.S. Air Force who was searching for a weapon to implant messages into the minds of the enemy and to urge his own truth onto superhuman deeds of valor.  

    The device employs electro-magnetic radiation of jigars? frequency pulse at extremely low frequency — ELF.  It is used to torture people both physically and mentally from a distance.

    Weapons of this type are claimed to have been used against a British woman protesting the presence of American cruise missiles at Greensam? Common Air Base during the ’70s.  

    This weapon can be used to induce total sensory deprivation by broadcasting signals into the auditory nerves at such a power that it blocks the victims ability to ‘hear themselves think’. The device has taken the concept of the old phrase “It is so noisy in here I can’t hear myself think”, and turned it into a powerful weapon of terror.  

    The process employed by such ELF technologies are described in various U.S. Defense Department Publications, including one entitled, “The Electro-Magnetic Spectrum and Low Intensity Conflict”, by Captain Paul E. Tyler, medical ?, United States Navy, which is included in a collection entitled, “Low Intensity Conflicts in Modern Technology” edit by Lt. Colonel, David ?… U.S. Air Force.  The paper was delivered in 1984, and the collection published in 1986 by Air University Press, Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama.

    “Another pulse microwave device can deliver audible signals directly to an individual while they remain undetectable by anyone else.  The technology is very simple, and can be built using an ordinary police radar gun.  The microwave beam generated by the device is moderated at audio frequencies and can broadcast voices directly into the brain”… and here we come for that NASA Blue Beam Project, as we were talking about at the beginning, the telepathic electronic two-way communications from space goes exactly with that kind of technology.  

    I repeat here, “the microwave beam generated by the device is modulated at audio frequencies and can broadcast voices directly into the brain”.  

    In his book, The Body Electric, Nobel Prize nominee Robert Becker described a series of experiments conducted in the early 1960′s by Olenfree, where this phenomena was first demonstrated as well as later experiment ?? in 1973 at the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research by Dr. Joseph C. Sharp, who personally underwent tests in which he proved he could hear and  understand spoken words delivered to him in an echo-free isolation chamber via a pulse microwave audiogram, an analogue of the word sound vibration beamed into his brain. 

     Becker then goes on to state, “such a device has obvious application and covert operation designed to drive a target crazy with voice or deliver undetectable instruction to a programmed asset”.  

    Now figure out, when we talked about that new messiah from space would be talking to different religious and faith people on the earth by the inside who would give such kind of instruction like to Muslim people what kind of possession case and kind of social disorder on a large case scale ever seen before we would see everywhere on the planet.

    A 1978 book entitled, Microwave Auditory Affect and Application, by James C. Lim? explains how audible voice can be broadcast directly into the brain.  This technology could be used to make the deaf hear, but instead it has been turned against the public.  

    Olenfree also reported that he could speed up, slow down or stop isolated  frogs hearts by synchronizing the pulse rate of a microwave beat with the beat of the earth itself.  According to Robert Becker, similar results have been obtained using live frogs, indicating that it is technically feasible to produce heart attacks which are rays designed to penetrate the human chest.

    I should mention also that Becker does not participate in such research.  It has been demonstrated that focused Ultra High Frequency – UHF –  electromagnetic energy beams can be used to induce considerable agitation and muscular or induce muscular weakness and lethargy.  Microwaves can also be used to burn human skin, and aide the effect of drugs, bacteria and poisons, or effect the functioning of the entire brain.  

    These effects were all studied at length by the CIA on September 21, 1977 in testimony before the Senate Sub-committee on Health and Scientific Research.  Dr. Sidney Gottlieb who directed the MK Ultra program at that time was forced to discuss aspects of the CIA’s research to find technique of vacuation? the human organs by remote electronic means.

     So this is something that exists right now, that has been pushed to its highest degree and that can be used from space by satellite to reach anybody on the planet.  

    If we go a little bit deeper in that kind of process and mind control over the people, we find for the year 1988 this: the equipment and technology… that kind of technology of mind control have been used to influence politics in a much more direct fashion.  

    Michael Dukakis, the Democrat Presidential candidate running against George Bush in the 1988 U.S. election, was targeted with microwave technology in order to impede his public speaking performance when the opinion polls he posed a threat to Bush’s election prospect.  He also claims that the equipment was used against Kitty Dukakis and drove her to the brink of suicide.  In the grisly Disneyland World of  U.S. politics a presidential candidate with problems such as these two dealt with, obviously stand to lose the race to the White House.  

    What I can add over here about those kinds of  new mental battlefields that will be used  in the NASA Blue Beam Project to implement the New World Religion is this: In the December 1980 edition of the U.S. Army Journal, which is called “Military Review”, an article by Lieutenant Colonel John B. Alexander, entitled “The New Mental Battlefield — Beam Me Up, Spock”,  provides further insight into the technical capabilities now at the disposal of the controllers. He writes:

“Several examples will demonstrate areas in which progress has been made:

The transference of energy from one organism to another.

The ability to heal or cause disease can be transmitted over a distance, thus inducing illness or death for no apparent cause.  

Telepathic behavior modification which includes the ability to induce hypnotic states up to distances in excess of 1,000 kilometers has been reported.  The use of telepathic hypnosis also holds great potential. This capability could allow agents to be deeply planted with no conscious knowledge of their programming, and .??/ the Manchurian Candidate ? and does not even require a phone call.  

Other mind to mind induction techniques are being considered.  If perfected, this capability could allow the direct transference of thought via telepathy from one mind or group of minds to a select target audience.  The unique factor is that the recipient will not aware that thought has been implanted from an external source.  He or she will believe the thoughts are original”.  

    This is exactly what we were talking about, and the third step of the NASA BlueBeam Project calls the telepathic-electronic two-way communication, and the article continues:

“If it is possible to feed artificial thoughts into the ?? genetic ?? via satellite the mind control of the entire planet is now possible.  An individual’s only resistance to constantly question the motivation behind their thoughts and not act upon thoughts that they consider to be outside the boundaries of their own ethical and moral boundaries. “ 

    Once again, it is wise to consider how television, advertising and various forms of social pressure are constantly being used to manipulate those boundaries.  

    And one thing… another thing which is really important over here, dealing with that kind of technology is this: It has been reported by Lt.Col Alexander who said in the summary of his Military Review article:

“The information on those kinds of technology presented here would be considered by some to be ridiculous since it does not conform to their view of reality; but some people still believe the world is flat.”

    Now, this means a lot, because if people do not believe that kind of technology to be possible, or this kind of technology we’re talking about is just science fiction… those people put themselves in jeopardy because when the night of the thousand stars will shine from the space during that night when the new messiah and the new world religion will be implemented on the planet, those people won’t have time to prepare themselves, and they will not be prepared to preserve themselves against such kind of technology.  

    That’s why they put themselves in jeopardy.  Because they don’t believe; they don’t take time to prepare and this is something real dangerous. Now we’re going to talk about the fourth step of that NASA Blue Beam project.  Now, the fourth step concerns the universal supernatural manifestation with electronic means. It contains three different orientations.  

    One is to make mankind belief that an alien invasion is about to strike down on each major city of the earth in order to push each major nations to use its nuclear to strike back.  This way, it would put each of these nations in a state of full disarmament in front of the United Nations after the false attack.  

    The second is to make the Christians believe to a major rapture with the supposedly divine intervention of an alleged good alien force coming to save the people from a brutal satanic attack.  Its goal is to get rid of all significant opposition to the New World Order.  

    The third orientation in the fourth step is a mixture of electronic and supernatural forces.  The waves used at that time will allow supernatural forces to travel through optical fiber, coaxial cable… the one used for cable TV, electric and phone lines in order to penetrate everywhere on electronic equipment, appliances will be already installed with microchips.  The goal of this one deals with global Satanic  ghosts – spector – all around the world in order to push all population on the edge to drown into a wave of suicide, killing and permanent psychological disorders.

    Then after that night of the thousand stars humanity is going to be ready to implore any new messiah to re-establish peace everywhere at any cost, even at the cost of freedom abdication.  Now which is interesting to note this over here: the technique used in that fourth step is exactly the same used in the past in USSR to force the people to accept Communism.  The same technical wave will be used by the United nations to implement the New World Religion in the New World Order.

    A lot of people ask me when this is going to happen and how they are going to do it.  Which are the steps they’re going to set up before that Night of the Thousand Stars?  According to different research and different reports that we get, they are thinking right now of an economic crash.  Not a complete crash that would put down all the economy, but an economic crash that would force them… that will also have them as a pretext to come up with an in between currency.  

    That means a new kind of currency that would be in between the currency that we have right now and the electronic cash.  Now, what they want to do with the in between currency is to force everybody who has some money in reserve everywhere to spend that money, because they consider that they will have problems to implement the New World Order if somewhere there are some people independent who can survive by themselves, so they have to put the people in a way to force them to spend everything and absolutely everything they have.  

    That’s why they want to start with a kind of organized economic crash to put up a new currency, and after that, they’re planning to put on worldwide basis the electronic cash.  But right now it is not possible for them to put that electronic cash since the super highway – what we call also the electronic highway – is not yet ready and implemented all over the planet.  

    To implement the electronic cash worldwide they have to have finished the implementation of the super highway everywhere, and for people wondering what the super highway is exactly… the super highway is an electronic sophisticated way to control directly the people in every home where it will be implemented or installed.  To that stage, the control – the political control – of everybody on the planet will be possible.  

    To prevent any kind of independence from the people we have to remember that the New Agers… the New World Order people will do anything to make sure that everybody, before the year 2000 will have spent all his personal and reserve cash or goods.  

    To prevent also any kind of independence the New World people have already started, all over the planet, to put into birds, fish and wild animals microchip implants.  Why?  Because they want to make sure that for the people who won’t accept the NWO, they won’t be able to fish or hunt anywhere, because the day they would try in the wilderness to make some fishing and hunting, the day they would catch a fish or an animal with a microchip implant they would be traceable by satellite, absolutely, everywhere.  

    Those same people to make sure of full control of everybody are changing laws of different countries right now to make sure they will have full control of the vitamins.  They are also changing laws right now about religion, and also about psychiatric disorders, in order to consider anybody with a violence potential as somebody who has psychiatric disorder and has to be put in a  clinic to be re-educated.  

    If you keep in mind that this New World Order New World Government is a worldwide dictatorship you cannot forget that a dictatorship will do everything possible to make sure they will be in a position to control anybody everywhere on the planet.  That’s why the kind of new technology they’re putting on right now everywhere is a technology for control of the people.  

    If you take, for instance, the technology that we had in the 1940s and the 1950s that kind of technology was made to help the people for an easier life.  But the new technology – if you take the time to look at computers, microchips, new microchip cars, super highway… you’ll notice, and this is evident, you’ll notice that all that technology is built in a way to track down and control anybody everywhere.  And as that kind of technology is made in such a way, it’s made also for a purpose.

    To refuse to see that purpose is not to want to see the evidence of a new kind of political power that want to establish themselves all over the planet.  

    Now, at the end of this conference… I want to apologize to everybodies my difficulties, my problem with English speaking, because as a Canadian journalist I’m also from the eastern part of Canada which is French-speaking country.  

    I hope that even if I have problems with pronunciation, or a French accent in my speaking, I hope it will be possible for everybody at least to understand the meaning of this conference and also the real meaning of the NASA Blue Beam Project.

    And I ask everybody everywhere who will be listening that they make everything possible to spread the words everywhere about that kind of new technology which exists right now into space and which exists for the purpose to implement the New World Religion which is also the basic foundation of the New World Order government.

Thank you and good night.

Wake up Canuck!: The global financial crisis will eventually hit us hard!

In the below interview with Max Keiser (maxkeiser.com), Nicole Foss explains to us fellow Canucks that our buck is not immune to the problems others in the world are seeing. We are just at the peak of the bubble, but make no mistake, the bubble will burst:

Canada is on the cusp of the shift from an extreme of complacency born of easy money to the fear of a sudden realization of being desperately over-stretched (“like butter spread over too much bread”, as Bilbo said in The Lord of the Rings). Canadians carry a higher debt load than Americans, as well as using more energy per capita than anyone else in the world (with the worst structural dependency on cheap energy as a result), yet we feel special – insulated from the rest of the world, as if bad things only happen to others. Our bubble is set to implode, as all bubbles eventually do.

Some points from the interview with Keiser:

  • we had 40 year mortgages with no money down
  • 30 yr mortgages with 5% down
  • avg house price in Vancouver is $1 million
  • when you are in the thick of a bubble, you can’t see it (“these are other people’s problems”)
  • Canadians are in more debt than residents of other nations
  • in some cases (esp. Vancouver) 50 to 70% of income goes to pay for mortgage costs
  • Even in St. Johns, NFLD, housing prices have skyrocketed
  • we have deferred the crisis, but not escaped it
  • we are reinsurers in the derivatives market
  • Canadian real estate values could fall by as much as 90% in some areas (what if they even fell by 50%? – how would that impact the average home borrower?)
  • there will be a deflationary credit collapse, where scarce cash will still buy real estate, but at incredibly reduced prices (goodbye easy credit!)
  • our housing industry represents 20% of GDP
  • we sell 80% of exports to the U.S.  so when their economy collapses, it will impact our export market

So Canada, how is it exactly we will come out unscathed?

So, as hyperinflation eventually kicks in for the Americans, it will create a ripple economic tsunami in Canada. What else will happen, according to Mike Maloney (goldsilver.com)? How will the dead cat bounce (Bernanke is dumber than gold)?

Mike says:

  • a $trillion collapse (10%) of U.S. currency supply
  • there will be real deflation (contraction of currency supply)
  • markets in U.S. are “way overvalued” (back into a bubble)
  • the P/E ratios for the S&P are over 20 (bubble territory)
  • dividend yields are a mere 1.9% (dividend yields have not been lower than this dating back to the reconstruction of the market data from 188o to 1998)
  • since 200o, Mike has noticed that global markets are in “lockstep” with whatever direction the U.S. stock market is going – they are interlinked.
  • as the U.S. market goes down, deflation, government panic, and hyperinflation
  • with hard times, people will not borrow and spend, the currency supply will collapse
  • if the Fed buys U.S. treasuries, it represents a debt of the American people to the private Fed Reserve, and it is an inefficient means to borrow (bureaucracy leading to a lag and inefficient way to propel the economy)
  • gold should be measured in how much real estate, stocks, and stuff it can purchase
  • gold is undervalued currently
  • China is encouraging the purchase of gold and silver
  • When China comes into silver, the explosion will be “nuclear” (silver is a very small market)
  • last Bull market was only in North America in the 70′s – this time it is the whole world
  • the spot prices are set by exchanges worldwide
  • GATA has evidence that the U.S. has been selling gold into the markets
  • to keep prices of gold down, a large holder would have to supply China and others seeking large quantities of gold outside the markets.
  • the bulk of the currency supply is not created by Bernanke, but by fractional reserve banking by loans from banks
  • Bernanke does not have control over the free markets – only manipulate them – and it will lead to higher gold prices

The bottom line is hedging against the collapse of the dollar, and rising inflation with real money – gold and silver. That, and food reserves might just save the bacon of your family when the bubble (yes, here in Canada people!) finally hits, and hits hard!

And here is Ron Paul to back this up, that eventually all currencies collapse:

Thanks again to the panel at the Make it Seven roundtable rant page for digging deep. Patrick Romanoski, Gregory Galante, Jay Martin, Joe Smith, Bryan Kirkham,Ken Connolly, Corey Schlueter, Aaron Mernick, Wade Tiefenbach,  Jennifer Zarull, and if I have missed anybody, don’t worry , it won’t be because I wanted to, but I will find you! Insight abounds, and is making this summary very easy indeed.

Wind them up and watch them go!

Wind them up and watch them go!

Have you ever had a chance to play the ‘Lemmings’ computer game? I remember one Christmas, they had a version on the internet with little Santa Lemmings, all decked out. You had to build certain paths that kept them safe, and if you didn’t, they didn’t have enough sense to save themselves. Set them on the wrong path, and they’d fall off the edge of a cliff, one after the other, with no ability or concern for trying to find a solution on their own.

To me, the National Hockey League, it’s executive, and employees responsible for trying to stop Jim Balsillie, are acting like those Lemmings. No matter what happens, they continue on the path over the virtual cliff, with no apparent consideration for the ridiculouslness of their own actions. With no apparent concern for the ramifications or long term consequences of what lies ahead.

And, with the changing of the guard in the NHLPA, the writing is becoming even more quickly apparent. There is a mutiny on the bounty in the works.

Can we figure the Lemmings will figure that out? Or, are they headed for the cliff with the same speed as ever?

Part of the problem with the NHL head office, is the arrogant attitude that self policing has earned them. They like to not be told what to do, and they intend on keeping it that way.

Well again, the people ‘they’ serve, the players and the fans are starting to voice an undying opinion that ‘we aren’t going to take it anymore’.

There is a mutiny in the works. Can anybody see it?

Let’s begin with material readily available for fan and player consumption. The depositions of Bill Daly, Gary Bettman, and Craig Leipold.

To start, Mr. Daly…

In deposition, Bill Daly had made a very confident statement  regarding his comments made on May 7th, 2009:

Daly: "We don't usually like to pick fights, but we end them."

Daly: "We don't usually like to pick fights, but we end them."

Reiterated comment from Daly of May 7th :

“Mr. Balsillie is acting again in total disregard of any rules or any structure, I’d be very surprised if the Board would look favorably on the way that Mr. Balsillie has conducted himself in this instance.”

Question from counsel: “Did you make that statement?”

Daly: “Yes, I did.”

And, another quote that Bill Daly had made:

“He makes his own decisions. And he’s making a decision that this is the way he wants to get into the National Hockey League. We don’t usually like to pick fights, but we end them.”

Now, the obvious question to Mr. Daly is, ‘how would you propose to end this fight?’

Let us guess.

You would, as league officials do ANYTHING necessary to end this fight?

After all, Jim Balsillie has decided how he is going to enter the National Hockey League, and Mr. Daly is of obvious opinion that Mr. Balsillie does not have the right to exercise his rights to use legal processes to do just that.

Would that be accurate?

It might even give league officials enough willpower to decide to structure ‘an attack’ to counter this man who does not listen to the league and it’s rules.

Would there be motive to alter and withhold information to suit the needs of a league desperate to stop a man with strong will?

The deposition of Bill Daly continued…..

Q from counsel: “Mr. Daly, are you familiar or did you see the various Kroll Reports that were prepared on Mr. Balsillie?”

Daly: “I’m familiar with them.”

Q: “Have you seen them?”

Daly: “I’ve seen them physically, but I can’t tell you – other than potentially skimming them, I didn’t read them in any great detail.”

Q: “Do you know why there are different versions of the report prepared, one on June 15th, which was of James Balsillie and Heidi Balsillie, and then one on July 23rd, which is just of James Balsillie, and yet another on of July 21st, which was a separate memorandum to Mr. Zimmerman? Do you have understanding of why there are different versions floating around?”

Daly: “No”

Q: “Were you involved in any discussions about taking materials in the Kroll Report out or including some materials in the Kroll Report?”

Daly: “No”

Q: “Do you know why the Kroll Reports were not given to the executive committee or to the Board of Governors before making their decision?”

The document cuts off before we get Mr. Daly’s answer. How appropriate that mishap is. What do you suppose his answer was? Tough one?

Anyhow, May 7th and already directing a bias toward the Board of Governors. Perhaps enough of a bias to ensure the Board members are not given a clear, unbiased amount of information to make a good decision on Mr. Balsillie?

I think Mr. Daly had better take a very important fact into consideration. It isn’t his hide on the line should the Board members be held accountable as directors and league authorities. It is the directors. Nice to be making decisions for them, if that is the case.

On to Mr. Bettman……

In his deposition, Gary Bettman starts to wash his hands. This should be a huge red flag to the Board of Governors, and I will explain more as we go along.

As an employee of the National Hockey League, Gary Bettman reports to the Board of Governors. The problem with any leader reporting to the Board, is the fact that Board Members tend to take the direction of the leader (commissioner in this case), and don’t necessarily ensure they understand all the liability and problems that they, not the commissioner is going to be held accountable for.

So, for Gary Bettman to advise the court what comes next is a key warning to those Board members that you had better obtain good counsel of your own, or it’s their  (Board members) collective and individual hides on the line.

On to the point.

In the deposition, Gary Bettman discussed article 4:

Q: “Is it correct that any ammendment of article 4 has to be evidenced by an instrument in writing signed by all members of the league?”

Bettman: "I have on repeated occasions advised the Board that there's an aspect of article 4 of the constitution which is unenforceable and will not be applied."

Bettman: "I have on repeated occasions advised the Board that there's an aspect of article 4 of the constitution which is unenforceable and will not be applied."

Bettman: “Not necessarily”

Q: “Not necessarily. And why would that be?”

Bettman: “Well, there are a couple of reasons. One, when you’re referring to article 4 of the constitution, it needs to be reconciled with bylaw 36; and secondly, I have on repeated occasions advised the Board that there’s an aspect of article 4 of the consitution which is unenforceable and will not be applied.

 Is Gary Bettman saying his only obligation is to advise the perhaps stubborn Board members that there are aspects of the constitution that are unenforceable? Is this a ‘washing of his hands’ and responsibility? Would Gary Bettman be better advised to inform the Board that in the current form the constitution is flawed and creates a great potential liability to the members of the Board?

Gary Bettman was under oath. He likely knew there were questions and a line of questioning that would implicate him responsible. What does he choose to do? He washes his hands and defers responsibility to the Board he serves. Board of Directors, this is your wake up call.

It continued….

When asked if he as commissioner had the right to interpret the league rules and establish policies regarding the constitution and bylaws, and that he (Commissioner) had the right to change provisions of the constitution by his (Bettman’s) interpretation, Bettman said:

“If they need to be reconciled either with other documents, resolutions and applicable law, yes.”

I wonder if that law would include the Competition Act of Canada?

So, is Gary Bettman saying he as commissioner has the right to change aspects of the constitution as required by applicable law, in this case the Competition Act of Canada? I would think so.

Regarding article 4.3, the counsel asked a specific question:

“I’m asking you a very narrow question. Has there ever been a written ammendment to that provision of the constitution signed by all members of the league?”

Bettman: “I don’t believe so, but that shouldn’t matter because I’ve advised the board-”

Bettman: “- on repeated occasions that we are not enforcing that provision, and there hasn’t been any objection to that, and in fact, the competition bureau in Canada has affirmed our policy and practice in that regard.”

“There hasn’t been an objection to that”? What about the letter from the Toronto Maple Leafs hand delivered to the office of the National Hockey league in 2006? Was this part of the information given to the Competition Bureau in Canada? Somehow, I think not.

So, Mr. Bettman in 2009 states that there was no objection, but clearly the Toronto Maple Leafs did object.

As pointed out by Patrick Romanoski, methinks we have a problem here. Would this be lying under oath?

Would this include withholding material evidence from the Competition Board of Canada?

I think we leave it for now on those valid issues. We will continue next time with more Gary Bettman deposition analysis, and for Craig Leipold.

The NHLPA got a fresh leader, eh?

Hmmmm……

Well, I must make a final comment to Mr. Bill Daly. Bill, you as a league know how to end a fight?

I don’t think you will be able to ‘end’ this one.

Please make comments in this post below, when you send, and any information you get back! Post your letter if you choose!

Here is a sample letter (courtesy Patrick Romanoski):

Hello Ms. Charlton,

My name is Patrick Romanoski.

Living on Hamilton Mountain, you are my MP.

Ms. Charlton, I need you to work along with the efforts of Sheila Copps, who is looking for answers to the question of illegal veto rights as it infringes on the laws of Canada, and specifically how it applies to the Competition Act.

Section 4.3 of the NHL constitution grants each team exclusive control over its “home territory,” stating that, “no other member of the League shall be permitted to play games … in the home territory of a member without the latter member’s consent. No franchise shall be granted for a home territory within the home territory of a member, without the written consent of such a membership” Since the Coyotes franchise is not “GRANTED” by the NHL, this point is moot, it will be purchased!

The previous section stating, “no other member of the League shall be permitted to play games … in the home territory of a member without the latter member’s consent.” stands on its own. Thus this section is illegal & a pure case of restraint of trade!!!

The Toronto Maple Leafs had a lawyer send a letter to the NHL in 2006, which in essence stated clearly that any team that wants to enter the territory of another must have “unanimous” support of all teams. In other words, MLSE thinks they can stop the locating of a team in Hamilton, as they say it would infringe on their territory.

Jim Balsillie and PSE are looking to purchase the Phoenix Coyotes and move them to Hamilton. If successful in the auction, his company will continue to meet resisitance from MLSE.

According to the Competition Act, any company or companies conspiring to restrict a product or supply of a product could be guilty of a criminal offence. Changes were proposed in March 2009 to effect potential jail time as much as 14 years imprisonment and fines as high as $25 million per occurence.

In a previous review the competition bureau was deliberately misled by the NHL by witholding this letter. Their responses to questioning was therefore not the whole truth and resulted in no wrongdoing being discovered.

This fact added to the facts uncovered in the PSE purchase attempt to move a team to Hamilton suggests a new review under oath is required.

Ms. Charlton, if you could provide clarification on the new changes too, that would be appreciated.

If you would be so kind, please acknowledge receipt of this email, and send progress reports on your efforts.

Thanking you for your representation and help in this matter,

Yours truly,

Patrick

Or, alternatively, Corey Schlueter came up with a terrific one too:

Dear Dr. Albrecht,

I am sure you are aware Jim Balsillie as PSE has made an offer to purchase an NHL team through the US bankruptcy system. While this issue at first seems trivial and of no concern to the Government of Canada; I must assure you that is not the case.

The Toronto Maple Leafs had a lawyer send a letter to the NHL in 2006, which in essence stated clearly that any team that wants to enter the territory of another must have “unanimous” support of all teams. In other words, the Leafs think they can stop the locating of a team in Hamilton, as they say it would infringe on their territory.

According to the Competition Act, any company or companies conspiring to restrict a product or supply of a product could be guilty of a criminal offence. Changes were proposed in March 2009, where potential jail time as much as 14 years imprisonment, and fines as high as $25 million per occurrence.

In a previous review the competition bureau was deliberately misled by the NHL by withholding this letter. Their responses to questioning was therefore not the whole truth and resulted in no wrongdoing being discovered.

This fact added to the facts uncovered in the PSE purchase attempt to move a team to Hamilton suggests a new review under oath is required.

As you can see the issue has become extremely important. MLSE and the NHL wish to protect their market share contrary to the law. Also by blocking this move the NHL is costing Ontario thousands of possible new jobs and the revitalization of Hamilton.

As my MP I am sure this issue is of great concern to you as well and I look forward to your representation in this matter.

Sincerely,
Corey Schlueter

It’s time to help our ‘Braveheart’, Jim Balsillie, and stand united for hockey rights in Canada.

Please make comments in this post below, when you send, and any information you get back! Post your letter if you choose!

Here is a sample letter (courtesy Patrick Romanoski):

Hello Ms. Charlton,

My name is Patrick Romanoski.

Living on Hamilton Mountain, you are my MP.

Ms. Charlton, I need you to work along with the efforts of Sheila Copps, who is looking for answers to the question of illegal veto rights as it infringes on the laws of Canada, and specifically how it applies to the Competition Act.

Section 4.3 of the NHL constitution grants each team exclusive control over its “home territory,” stating that, “no other member of the League shall be permitted to play games … in the home territory of a member without the latter member’s consent. No franchise shall be granted for a home territory within the home territory of a member, without the written consent of such a membership” Since the Coyotes franchise is not “GRANTED” by the NHL, this point is moot, it will be purchased!

The previous section stating, “no other member of the League shall be permitted to play games … in the home territory of a member without the latter member’s consent.” stands on its own. Thus this section is illegal & a pure case of restraint of trade!!!

The Toronto Maple Leafs had a lawyer send a letter to the NHL in 2006, which in essence stated clearly that any team that wants to enter the territory of another must have “unanimous” support of all teams. In other words, MLSE thinks they can stop the locating of a team in Hamilton, as they say it would infringe on their territory.

Jim Balsillie and PSE are looking to purchase the Phoenix Coyotes and move them to Hamilton. If successful in the auction, his company will continue to meet resisitance from MLSE.

According to the Competition Act, any company or companies conspiring to restrict a product or supply of a product could be guilty of a criminal offence. Changes were proposed in March 2009 to effect potential jail time as much as 14 years imprisonment and fines as high as $25 million per occurence.

In a previous review the competition bureau was deliberately misled by the NHL by witholding this letter. Their responses to questioning was therefore not the whole truth and resulted in no wrongdoing being discovered.

This fact added to the facts uncovered in the PSE purchase attempt to move a team to Hamilton suggests a new review under oath is required.

Ms. Charlton, if you could provide clarification on the new changes too, that would be appreciated.

If you would be so kind, please acknowledge receipt of this email, and send progress reports on your efforts.

Thanking you for your representation and help in this matter,

Yours truly,

Patrick

Or, alternatively, Corey Schlueter came up with a terrific one too:

Dear Dr. Albrecht,

I am sure you are aware Jim Balsillie as PSE has made an offer to purchase an NHL team through the US bankruptcy system. While this issue at first seems trivial and of no concern to the Government of Canada; I must assure you that is not the case.

The Toronto Maple Leafs had a lawyer send a letter to the NHL in 2006, which in essence stated clearly that any team that wants to enter the territory of another must have “unanimous” support of all teams. In other words, the Leafs think they can stop the locating of a team in Hamilton, as they say it would infringe on their territory.

According to the Competition Act, any company or companies conspiring to restrict a product or supply of a product could be guilty of a criminal offence. Changes were proposed in March 2009, where potential jail time as much as 14 years imprisonment, and fines as high as $25 million per occurrence.

In a previous review the competition bureau was deliberately misled by the NHL by withholding this letter. Their responses to questioning was therefore not the whole truth and resulted in no wrongdoing being discovered.

This fact added to the facts uncovered in the PSE purchase attempt to move a team to Hamilton suggests a new review under oath is required.

As you can see the issue has become extremely important. MLSE and the NHL wish to protect their market share contrary to the law. Also by blocking this move the NHL is costing Ontario thousands of possible new jobs and the revitalization of Hamilton.

As my MP I am sure this issue is of great concern to you as well and I look forward to your representation in this matter.

Sincerely,
Corey Schlueter

 

Legal liability as an individual and a company: Where will Bettman be then?

For the bullet summary, please go here.

There are proposed changes to the Competition Act that are compelling. The reason must be based on problems and issues with the current system.

The question is, ‘How far are you willing to go as Board of Governors to back up the whims of the Commissioner? Who would be the ones to ‘go down’?

 

Is the NHL being ‘petty’, or is this more about Peddie?

Richard Peddie: 'For' or 'against' Jim Balsillie?

Richard Peddie: 'For' or 'against' Jim Balsillie?

 Richard Peddie and the MLSE that is!

In the “Butterfly Effect” series of movies, the character can go back in time and try to alter the past. Well, given the chance now, would Peddie have intercepted the sending of the 2006 letter to Gary Bettman that the lawyer representing MLSE sent? At the very least, the lawyer could have checked the spelling of Mr. ‘Betteman’s name’. That must have been more annoying than the letter’s content. Ironically, little research or care in it’s preparation then, which may result in plenty of clockable legal hours now. Funny how that works, eh?

Translation of letter: If the MLSE doesn’t want a team in ‘our turf’, then too bad if all other teams do. Problem: Legal liability imposed by a member of the Board of Governors hanging the other members out to ‘legal’ dry.

In early August the issue of depositioning Peddie came into play:

However, the league wants Judge Redfield T. Baum to reject the proposed deposition of Toronto Maple Leafs owner Richard Peddie.

Attorneys for Canadian billionaire Jim Balsillie want to question Peddie over what role the Maple Leafs might play in the proposed relocation of the Coyotes to Hamilton, Ontario. The league contends the relocation issue is moot because the NHL Board of Governors has overwhelmingly rejected Balsillie as an owner.

 

And, wouldn’t the NHL love to keep the deposition of Peddie a ‘moot’ point, and not have it rear it’s ugly head again. Can Peddie count on this the longer this case takes? Is he a gambling man? How does he like the ‘outside world’?

And, as reported by Globe Sports:

The NHL’s objection, filed with the court yesterday, stated the Maple Leafs abstained from the NHL governors’ unanimous vote on July 29 that rejected Balsillie as an owner. Presumably yesterday’s objection was made to counter Balsillie’s charge that the Leafs are playing a leading role in blocking the move of a team into their territory.

Peddie could not be reached for comment last night.

 

I’m sure he will be unavailable for quite some time too. But, he can’t stay N/A forever!

 

Well, if I were the Toronto Maple Leafs or the Ottawa Senators, I would be wondering the consequences of backing up the league on the issue related to anti-trust and monopoly powers.

 There are laws, and the laws are getting more stringent.

In March 2009, according to Mondaq:

The Government is proposing a long-debated reform to the cornerstone criminal conspiracy section by removing the requirement to show that an agreement among competitors would lessen or prevent competition unduly. Under the new provision, which will make such agreements “per se” illegal, competitors who agree, conspire or arrange among themselves to fix, maintain, increase or control prices or fix, maintain, control, prevent, lessen or eliminate supply of a product or allocate sales, territories, customers or markets for the production or supply of a product, are guilty of a criminal offence. Penalties will be increased to a maximum of $25 million for each count and up to 14 years of imprisonment. A new defence has been created where the agreement is ancillary to a broader agreement and is reasonably necessary to give effect to the broader agreement, provided that the broader agreement when considered alone would not contravene the criminal conspiracy provision. In addition, the common law principles that relate to a defence for regulated conduct will continue to apply to the new provision.

Criminal conspiracy! Criminal conspiracy! Did you hear that? Criminal conspiracy?

Not just collusion as we saw in Phoenix. No, this time we are talking about perhaps more serious consequences including up to 14 years behind bars. Who would be with you in that ‘pen’?

Well, commissioner Gary Bettman is an employee of the NHL. He is hired by the Board of

Will Gary Bettman be responsible for "Conspiracy to avoid Competition" charges and the potential jail term that goes with it? Should the Board of Governors be following the lead of 'the man obsessed?'

Will Gary Bettman be responsible for "Conspiracy to avoid Competition" charges and the potential jail term that goes with it? Should the Board of Governors be following the lead of 'the man obsessed?'

Governors. Ultimately, the Board of Governors and the individual members that make it up are individually and collectively responsible for the operations and the liability of the league as a whole. Not Gary Bettman.

Repeat: Not Gary Bettman. No, you’d be on your own!

This must be made clear to the members of the Board of Governors who want to ‘listen’ and ‘agree’ with the commissioner. He won’t be the one serving time for you if that is the case.

How far will you go, if you are a member of the BOG in this man’s NHL? Will you be willing to undergo examinations in court? Will you be willing to admit things you did not want to admit? Will you be willing to stand up, under oath, and testify that the reason you may have agreed to something is because, and largely due to the fact that ‘all the others were doing it, and I thought I should too’. Is that what it boils down to? Are you listening to an employee exercising his influence to the detriment of your own safety? Good questions BOG members. Better start checking with your lawyers. Good lawyers that is.

Because, here’s the deal.

If you are Eugene Melnyk in Ottawa, and Richard Peddie in Toronto, you and your operations in Canada are subject to the Canadian Competition Act.

Knowing what you know of Balsillie’s persistence, what do you figure the ‘odds’ are that will become a reality, especially if the NHL will drag this out legally for the reported years to come?

As the heads of your organizations, you can now be likely found guilty of a criminal offense to knowingly conspire to keep a competitor out of a territory. That competitor in this case may be Jim Balsillie. Mr. Bettman is an American running an American company, but in Canada, having teams here? A little different.

Is it a good idea to follow a man obsessed?

You may be subject to criminal prosecution for conspiring as two teams, even though you represent a broader league as a whole.

The members representing other teams are not the issue. In this case, the two teams in Ontario (Ottawa and Toronto) are the Canadian issue.

Do you think as companies running in Ontario, you will be able to continue to defer obligation to Gary Bettman, as has been done to date related to issues of article 4.3 of the NHL Constitution? Are you banking on that?

Do you as BOG members in the NHL, but owners of Ontario companies think that you will be immune to the laws of Ontario companies? You had better hope so, but how far are you willing to go?

According to the Hamilton Spectator of August 29th, a very interesting truth became known:

“After repeatedly telling this court that such unlawful veto rights do not exist, both Mr. Bettman and Mr. Daly were forced to admit at their depositions that the Article of the NHL Constitution providing for this veto (Article 4.3) has never been amended in an unanimous writing (as required by the explicit terms of Article 12 of the NHL Constitution) and that the Toronto ownership group has expressly ‘reserved its rights’ and to whether its unlawful veto remains in effect.”

But this week Daly advised the Spectator via e-mail that the board of governors has the final say on the NHL coming to Hamilton.

“Nothing to do with Toronto, or the alleged “veto” right.

OK, so let’s get this straight. We had Mr. Peddie and Mr. Melnyk involved likely in the article 12 ammendment that says article 4.3 must be removed. But, the article 4.3 was never actually removed by some fluke?

Now, we have the MLSE ready to stand by the ammendment (4.3), and take advantage of the fact that it still appears in the constitution, even though both companies (Leafs and Senators) agreed to it’s removal?

Oh, that’s of incredible character, don’t ya think?

And, the Teacher’s Pension Fund owns now 66% of MLSE. What is that supposed to teach the kids? Cheat when you can, and if the teacher gives you a bad mark, but it gets written in the records as a good mark, don’t do the right thing and tell her. Just take advantage of the misfortune. The teachers on Ontario would go along with this? Maybe we should have a referendum on that issue, and have it debated in classrooms everywhere. Good, let’s mark that down for the future, shall we?

OK, so Mr. Peddie wants to ensure the 4.3 that was supposed to be removed but wasn’t should be upheld, and MLSE would sue whoever tried to violate it, including the league it is part of, despite having agreed to it’s removal. For the record? OK.

Well, take a close look at who told us about the fact that it is still there. It wasn’t Mr. Peddie or Mr. Melnyk, it was Mr. Bettman and Mr. Daly, under deposition.

If I was a betting man, which I am not (sorry Eugene and Jeremy), I would guess that the Balsillie camp has got a checklist of strategy. And, once those depositions were obtained from Daly and Bettman, a little check was applied.

The information will surface again, don’t worry.

But, if I were Mr. Melnyk and Mr. Peddie I would be a little worried. Because unlike Mr. Bettman and Mr. Daly, you run corporations in Ontario subject to that nasty Competition Laws Canada has. Nasty stuff, and getting a whole lot nastier.

And, Mr. Peddie and Mr. Melnyk are directors and high ranking officials directly responsible to the laws of Canada. Lots of liablility. Mr. Daly and Mr. Bettman? Not so much.

That 26-0 vote is going to rear it’s ugly head as this goes on, don’t kid yourselves.

So, the bottom line is, if the Ottawa Senators and Toronto Maple Leaf brass are ‘listening’ to Mr. Bettman, don’t expect him to serve the penalty that might be coming your way. You know, the whole ‘together we stand, divided we fall’ thing? That’s right, you will be on your own.

You might get a ‘sorry’ from Bettman and Daly on the ‘we thought the vote would do it’ thing. But that won’t be good enough.

Again, if I were a betting man, I might be inclined to think that the vacation of Richard Peddie, and his conveniently missed attendance in the  26-0 vote was more planned than would seem apparent.

And, the fact that the NHL protected Peddie from being deposed earlier in the procedings may have been to avoid another ‘checkmark’ in the course of legal  ‘to do’ s of the Balsillie legal team.

But,don’t worry Mr. Peddie, they will get you to answer the ‘for or against’ question soon enough.

If I was a betting man, I’d bet on that!

Conspiracy to stop competition? A criminal offense, eh? Sounds a little risky. Especially for those so sensitive about their reputations.

The Ontario hockey market is looking a whole lot smaller, isn't it Mr. Melnyk?

The Ontario hockey market is looking a whole lot smaller, isn't it Mr. Melnyk?

Mr. Melnyk, how would you like a criminal record on your ’character’ resume? Didn’t think so.

How far should you be willing to go as a person to follow the crowd?

 Or, how much should you listen to an employee telling you what to think and how to think it?

The Passion that Unites us All!

With all your 'passion' Canadians, you'll get over it!

With all your 'passion' Canadians, you'll get over it!

For the bullet summary, please go here.

Just in case things don’t go the ‘Canadian’ Way in the Glendale Court…..

Fellow hockey fans of Southern Ontario, Canada, and the World:

Perhaps we are just not that important.

We can come to that conclusion based on the attitude of the National Hockey League, the Toronto Maple Leafs, the NHL’s Board of Governors, the reporting from major newspapers in the GTA, and others.

We are just not that big a deal.

Who are we kidding? After all, we are hockey nuts, right? Or, are we just nuts that like hockey?

We are powerful and have a strong voice that will really impact the NHL and they had better treat us right. Or, are we just a minor inconvenience that will blow over, and the true hockey fans located for the mostpart in the U.S. don’t know or for that matter, even care that we are upset. Is that it?

It must be OK for the NHL head office and the teams voting against Jim Balsillie to give it to Jim and to us. We’ll get over it. We are true fans, and we really can’t stay away from the game. We will get over it, and flock around our television sets once again when the puck drops next season. We will watch as the cameras scan over the crowds in the sunbelt U.S., strategically placed to ensure it looks like the stands are full.

We will watch, and we will wonder what it would be like to walk up to a ticket booth on game day, and buy some really good seats to see a couple of teams, and a game that looks much faster in person. Those lucky fans, we will think, as we blog, and gossip with other Canadians in Southern Ontario, that gather in front of the TV to watch the Canadian game, in the only way we can. Artificially that is.

We will continue to wonder if the circumstances that surrounded Winnipeg and Quebec City were truly as bad as we would be led to believe. We will wonder how they feel when they, on a Saturday night, gather with their memories and passion, around their collective TV sets to see the game in the only way they now can. Virtually.

We will wonder how they feel as they watch their old teams. Do they still have the passion for their team? The players are mostly if not all gone. Do they still think of the team as ‘their team’? We will wonder because that’s all we can do.

From coast to coast, the Leafs remind us of a passion that unites us all. The Toronto Maple Leafs would hope it was their team that unites us. The question is, does it?

The NHL must know something we don’t. The Toronto Maple Leafs too don’t seem too concerned. They must think this urge and desire to see real NHL hockey in person is a dream we can get over.

We will put our differences aside, and our resentment to the Toronto Maple Leafs organization for the obvious attitude of superiority, and we will learn again to love those Leafs, despite how dismal a display they will have on the ice again this year, like all the other years.

We’ll get over it because we are hockey fans, and they are banking on us not being able to resist the game.

They know we are saps that will continue to take whatever they dish out, and come back. And, if we are lucky, really lucky, perhaps we will win the lottery, and someone will offer to sell us a couple of seats to a Leaf game this year.

We will get over our hope to have hockey for the masses. Where a family can go online and buy a few seats to an upcoming Hamilton game, and treat the family to true, professional hockey. We will survive. Our kids will survive. It’s just the way it must be.

And, we will get over the memory of knowing that the Phoenix Coyotes hockey team to the City of Glendale, AZ was more to do about land and area development, and that ‘that hockey team’ was simply a means to achieve city growth. We will learn to put our differences aside. We will learn to forgive the snow job fed the people of Arizona when the team is relocated. After all, all the hype of the court case by that time will have blown over, and reality will be easier to palate.

We will learn to forgive the notable hockey players in the NHLPA that didn’t squeek a rah rah when we were in time of need. We will learn to forgive the Canadian hockey players that have a better tax deal playing and living in the U.S., because despite the fact they are Canadian, we must forgive the fact they need to bank the millions now, while they are still healthy. We will learn that to be a Canadian playing the NHL game means sacrificing your heritage and patriotic pride.

It is much more important to have NHL hockey in the deep southern United States, where to sell a seat, you must throw in a program, perhaps a burger, and maybe that beer.

It is much more important to see if Gary Bettman and the NHL can get a lucrative TV deal despite the fact that college wrestling stands a better chance.

It is much more important to ensure NHL hockey gets exposed in a geographic manner so that more merchandise can be sold as a novelty to people that don’t really like the game necessarily, but think the clothing looks cool. And, let’s not forget Gary. Gary gets a piece of the profits of that merchandise. That is so important. What were we thinking?

Yes, we Canadians are expected to get over it.

We will not sign petitions, or stop buying merchandise, or revolt against the machine.

Yes, the Toronto Maple Leafs have a slogan, the Passion that Unites Us All!

I guess they will ensure the passion to see hockey will remain a passion to see ‘Leaf’ hockey, come hell or high water.

There may be a new passion building in Southern Ontario, in Winnipeg, in Quebec City, and other parts of Canada.

Will we get over it? They certainly hope so.

The new breed of ‘passion’ of the Canadian hockey fans may tell a different story in the coming days, weeks, months, and years.

There may be a new and improved passion that unites us all. Let’s see what that is!

What does the NHL and Afghanistan have in common?

It’s election time in Afghanistan.

Afghan President Hamid Karzai is doing something he is not used to doing. Leaving his abode to mingle with the people. You see, he must be accountable to them, as he must show he is working for them.

Karzai’s speech, as explained by Rosie DiManno of the Toronto Star, is about ‘National Unity’. Ironic in a country that Dimanno explains as a place that has forgotten what life without violence is like. Unity is a far removed concept, so the irony of the President discussing this as an excuse to be seen is strange.

You see Karzai rarely ventures outside his palace, for reasons of security, as explained by DiManno, but she points it out for a far greater reason:

….because Afghan politics is largely about backroom coalition-building, the forging of alliances with unseemly but powerful kingmakers, rather than direct appeal to the citizenry.

Karzai over the years’ has seen his popularity plummet’ according to DiManno.

How does this compare to NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman?

Well, the attitude of Karzai’s pre-election campaigning seems to be different than the attitude of Gary Bettman who doesn’t have to worry about the citizens (the fans), as he is not voted in by the fans.

No, Gary Bettman is more concerned with the ‘poweful kingmakers’ that keep him in his seat of authority, and not the fans. He does not too often have to discuss issues with them.

The question at this point begs the question as to what the ‘kingmakers’ are telling him. What is it they want these days?

With the Phoenix Coyotes case exposing a few tidbits of information making the ‘people’ question motives of the Board of Governors, will a fan outcry be required to make the kingpins listen?

In another article in the Toronto Star of today, the NHL is shown to be worried that the youth of today are less inclined to have loyalty to sport as their entertainment choice.

Perhaps the NHL would be wiser then to listen more to the fans, especially those in Canada, where hockey is embraced the most.

And, Toronto is in the greatest trouble. With teens less drawn to the NHL Toronto Maple Leafs than in other provinces. Could it be the greed of the MLSE that has added to the dilemma? Are there kingpins in Toronto that Gary Bettman is getting an earfull from?

The Phoenix Coyotes court battle shows the NHL’s philosophy about battling to the end is similar to the attitude of the situation in Afghanistan.

The only difference is there is no public election that Gary Bettman needs to concern himself with. But this might lend itself to a false sense of security.

Gary Bettman and the NHL had better start looking to Afghanistan for direction, and perhaps change the constitution to be a democratic process that serves it’s fans.

Or, the NHL may get their way, but in the end have nobody too interested in their good boys club, or the product they offer.
